Pet care experience

Experienced & educated pet lover

I have cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life. In addition to pet care, I have spent several years working in animal rescue and am passionate about providing exceptional, individualized care to every animal I meet. I have interacted with thousands of animals over the years and consider myself an expert in cat care, with experience across all ages, personalities, and special needs. Additionally, I have access to a range of veterinary resources should any unexpected medical emergencies arise.

Boarding • Aug 20, 2024

Larisa did an amazing job helping to board our 3 military cats before their flight to the states! As she was familiar with military PCS-ing, it really eased our minds as to her understanding our situation. She sent daily updates and pictures and she must be a miracle worker because she even got our scaredy-cat to come out and get some loves. I would recommend her to anyone!

Larisa was a pleasure to work with, quick to respond and always on time. She took excellent care of Heidi and Bella, and also helped with basic routines at home. We’ll be working with her again, and I’d recommend her to my family and friends.

Larisa did a great job taking care of our little fur babies. She was able to work with us and our schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide every pet with a safe, comfortable, and thoroughly cleaned environment. Boarding spaces are disinfected using a veterinary-grade disinfectant and include fresh food, clean water, enrichment, and plenty of individual attention. To help prevent the spread of illness, pets from different households are kept safely separated while still receiving regular, high-quality interaction and affection.

Pets

A typical day

For cats, I offer a wide selection of toys and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated and physically active. They can also safely watch birds and fish from indoors—essentially their own version of live TV! For dogs, I provide exercise and outings tailored to their age, mobility, temperament, and energy level. I enjoy exploring nearby walking paths and hiking trails and will always adjust the pace and distance to meet each dog’s individual needs.

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, temperament, dietary needs, medications, medical conditions, triggers, and any special care instructions before their stay or visit. I have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, including cats with medical conditions and disabilities. I have personally rescued and rehabilitated many cats with special needs, so I understand the patience, attentiveness, and consistency they may require. I also live with a physician who may be available as an additional source of general support; however, any medical concerns or emergencies will always be handled according to your instructions and in consultation with your pet’s veterinarian or an emergency veterinary clinic.
